Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Remove Taxonomy Base Slug

Use this plugin if you want to get rid of a custom taxonomy base slug completely. The normal behaviour of WordPress is to add '/taxonomy' to your permalinks if you leave "taxonomy page" blank (ex: site.com/taxonomy/). So your taxonomy links look like "site.com/taxonomy/my-taxonomy/". With this plugin your taxonomy links will look like "site.com/my-taxonomy/" (or "site.com/my-taxonomy/sub-taxonomy/" in case of child taxonomies).

I don't think so.

Simply don't have a page or a post type and category with the same slug. Even if they do have the same slug it won't break anything. Priority will be for taxonomies.

Depends, if its useful enough and I have time for it.
